Jacob Franklin Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley Hoffman Lane 2002

Like an old blacksmith's workshop, an old wood-laden mustiness swirls around this glass of juice. The extracted cassis, black cherry and boysenberry, make this a trademark Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. Notes of barbecued smoke, black pepper, cloves and licorice appear mid-palate and combine with the silk body and tinge of acidity to make this a wine with great balance. One member of our tasting panel exclaimed, "This wine is just a pleasure to drink!"
